My college uses pirated software!

I took these screenshots a few weeks back from one of my college labs. We were asked to run some SQL queries on our systems when I saw the Nod32 icon in the taskbar. I was surprised that my college was using it and had it on all the systems in the lab.

Just out of curiosity, I went to the control panel of the software to see if the software was licensed or not. To my utter surprise, it was a cracked version.  It used the Nod32FiX by nSane if I’m not wrong. Check out the screenshots.

After a few more days snooping around in the college labs, I found that many of the PCs in my college labs have the same cracked version of Nod32 installed. Since the students are not allowed administrative access, it is most definitely the work of the college authorities. Students had given feedback that all the systems were infested with worms that further infect their USB sticks when copy the stuff they’ve made. So this is the remedy the college has come up with. Bravo!
